maybe that edit was cut in a way that's not fair to john mccain. maybe he really wasn't in real time so insensitive and abrasive to a woman who probably deserves some sensitivity when she is talked to about these matters. but for what it's worth, patricia maisch, the woman who disarmed the tucson shooter, she was in the room at that john mccain town hall. she saw the whole thing happen. she saw that woman ask the question about what john mccain thought should be done about gun violence and saw him answer by saying you need some straight talk. and patricia maisch, who was in the room, told talking points memo in an interview after the town hall that she found senator mccain's response "unsatisfactory."
